Rebooting Fringe: déjà vu

'Yeah, I read that déjà vu is fate's way of telling you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be.' - dice Peter a Olivia in White Tulip mentre 'rivivono' il momento in cui esaminano la casa di Alistair Peck: - 'That's why you feel like you've been there before. You are right in line with you're own destiny.'

'Yeah, I read that déjà vu is fate's way of telling you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be.' - Peter tells to Olivia in White Tulip while 'live again' the moment in the Alistair Peck's home: - 'That's why you feel like you've been there before. You are right in line with you're own destiny.'

And then, scaring Olivia and Walter, he says that he never had a déjà vu: 'Maybe that's 'cause I'm not on track with my own destiny.'

Personally, I don't really believe this. Although he has been abducted and has not lived in his Universe, it doesn't mean that he isn't in line with his destiny. Indeed, maybe THIS would be his destiny.

Perhaps the explanation can be found in the Fringe-scientific theory of Walter about the phenomenon of déjà vu, introducing the concept of timeline and alternative universes (The Road Not Taken) and meaning the strange Olivia visions (There's More Than One Of Everything). In his opinion the déjà vu is 'a momentary glimpse to the other side': visions of a world slightly different from our.

That is why Peter never had a déjà vu: Over There there isn't his alternate version.

What if the déjà vu theory returned in the Season 4?And if it's the way to remember Peter?
